Blaming social media for mental health issues sounds deeply questionable no matter how many correlative studies.
I doubt it is generally healthy but making it out to be the next tobbaco is absurd.
There are far too many overlapping changes with potential negative effects, let alone the role of diagnosis and awareness affecting apparent numbers - a town without any access to diagnosis will look mentally healthy even if literally everyone has severe PTSD.
Even if a correlation is taken as granted it is logically flawed as concluding kids eating their lunch alone are at an increased suicide risk - never mind shunning or bullying that is the shared cause of both!
- kube-system 7y agoI'm not blaming social media for the problem, per se. Ultimately, it is the way people use the tool that will determine whether it is a pro or a con. The issue is that the general public (or, most anyone) does not fully grasp how their use of the tool will affect themselves and those they interact with.
